Import Tips
• Verify fructose content via lab analysis to confirm <20% dry weight, as exceeding this shifts to 1702.40
• Obtain certificates of analysis for DE value and ensure no added flavors/coloring to avoid reclassification
• Monitor USDA sugar quotas; provide raw value calculations per Additional U.S
• Note 5 for quota eligibility
